Taste of Scilly Festival

Ten days celebrating the food, drink and people of Scilly – from island-grown produce and freshly landed seafood to feasts, tastings and wonderfully local experiences.

11th – 20th September 2026

Taste of Scilly returns this September, bringing together growers, fishers, makers, chefs and producers from across the islands for ten days of events inspired by the landscape and waters around us.

It’s a chance to taste your way around the archipelago: discovering the people behind Scilly’s food and drink, trying something new and perhaps taking a boat to another island for lunch, supper or a special festival event.

From tea and cake to lobster suppers, tastings, tours and one-off dining experiences, the programme is wonderfully varied – and very Scillonian.

Events on Bryher & Tresco.

In addition to the Low Tide Event between Bryher and Tresco on Saturday 12th September, there’s a variety of events taking place across Bryher and Tresco throughout the Festival.

Taste Scilly’s Sweetest Creations with a free talk and tasting at Bryher’s Veronica Farm Fudge on Tuesday 15th September.

Over on Tresco, meet island beekeeper Jilly Halliday for a Beehive Tour & Taster, discovering the fascinating world of Tresco’s honeybees on Sunday 20th September.
